The soldiers all silently lowered their heads.
Suddenly, an angry voice came from one of them.
“Why should we sacrifice our compatriots to the vampires? We’re not their slaves!”
It was the head of my guards who spoke. His face was full of anger and his strong questioning voice struck a chord with his men.
“How dare you, the Alpha of our pack, treat us as though we’re disposable? You don’t deserve our respect.”
Then he picked up a weapon from the ground and pointed it at me.
“We will never become slaves to vampires. We will kill all our enemies or die trying!”
“He’s right! Either kill all our enemies or die trying!”
Gradually, more and more soldiers joined the rebellion. Their voices grew louder and louder. Everyone held their arms high in the air and shouted, pointing their weapons at the vampires.
A full-on battle was about to break out. All the members of the werewolf race swarmed forward and fought tooth and nail against the vampires. They didn’t flinch even if they were injured and bleeding.
I looked at all this in panic. Was this the end? Would all my efforts be in vain?
I was getting more and more uneasy, so I could only watch from the sidelines and hope that the vampires could subdue these disobedient rebels.
But the vampires didn’t seem to have expected this outcome either. There were not many of them in the first place, and after a few of them were killed by werewolves, they began to look uncertain.
They didn’t dare to get any closer to the city gate. They could only say harsh words to me as they retreated.
“You’d better be ready to explain this to the duke, Geoffrey, or else we won’t let you go. Someone must pay for Alison’s death.”
Alison was the blonde vampire who had died just now. Although she died a miserable death, I had to admit I felt extremely happy seeing her die.
But now I was not in the mood to respond to them. What I was more worried about was that Rufus would make a big fuss about it and break down the wall. If the wall was gone, I would be doomed.
Just then, the ground began to shake faintly, as though an army was headed this way.
I could smell the scent of werewolves approaching.
My hope was rekindled. I looked at Rufus and his companions with a wide grin. “A-ha! My reinforcements are here. I will arrest you all.”
But when the reinforcements arrived at the city gate, what I saw was not the familiar faces I was expecting, but the legendary god of war, Leonard Quinn himself!
Rufus’ POV
I wasn’t expecting Leonard to show up with reinforcements.
But when I saw the excitement on Sylvia’s face, I pieced two and two together.
Sylvia noticed my meaningful gaze and winked at me playfully, as if she knew what I was thinking.
I smiled and nodded to show that I understood her signal.
Now, Leonard had blocked the vampires’ way out of here, and werewolf troops guarded the perimeter of the wall.
Realizing that the situation was clearly unfavorable, Geoffrey turned around to escape in secret, but it was Leonard himself who stopped him.
“Where do you think you’re going?”
Leonard yanked Geoffrey back and threw him to the clearing. Geoffrey’s face turned pale and his voice trembled. “How… What are you doing here?”
Leonard laughed wildly. “Were you expecting someone else? Reinforcements from the Fixed Star Pack and the Wapiti Pack perhaps? I’m sorry to say they were trapped three kilometers away from here and are unable to protect even themselves.”
Hearing this, Geoffrey’s knees buckled and he fell to the ground. “How could this be…”
Leonard snorted and didn’t waste time with him anymore. He strode over to me and asked, “Prince Rufus, what do you want me to do with these vampires?”
I glanced at the cornered vampires coldly. “What do you think?”
Although I had made a decision, I still wanted to hear Leonard’s opinion.
After mulling it over for a while, Leonard strode over to the vampires and held up a thin, sickly vampire by his collar. With a disgusted expression on his face, Leonard asked, “Why do you look so weak?”
The thin, sickly vampire feebly tried to defend himself. “I… I’m not full…”
Leonard chuckled. “Werewolf prisons have good food. I’m sure you’ll be satisfied there.”
All the vampires shivered in fear. A male vampire with hair that reached his waist stepped forward and said, “Only one of us died here. The situation isn’t irredeemable. When we go back to our clan, we’ll just say that it was an accident.”
The other vampires chimed in enthusiastically. “We swear we won’t tell anyone. Duke Hobson will never find out the truth.”
“The dead vampire wasn’t very important anyway. Her death isn’t enough to start a war between the two races.”
“Just let us go. We’ll forget what happened today and continue to live in peace.”
Leonard didn’t say anything and turned to look at me, awaiting my instructions.
“Arrest them,” I said firmly.
Vampires were good liars. I couldn’t just let them go back to their territory.
And now, there wasn’t just the problem with the border. Because of the existence of the wall, the conflict between the two races that had accumulated for a long time was about to implode.
I didn’t want to see any more of these dirty deals and means for even a second.
With a smile, Leonard stretched out his arm and shouted at his men, “Arrest these vampires!”
The well-trained soldiers promptly sprang into action.
